Donkars

It is not so often that any of us can see donkey carts on our main, tarmacked roads. Normally they are to be found on secondary roads going to lands and cattle posts carrying people, firewood, water and other necessities.

In a sense they are the successors of the primitive sledge and the cumbersome ox waggon. But when we do see them, do we perhaps wonder if they need to be licensed and indeed under which category they would fall? 

Much the same would, of course, apply to the donkey cart variation, the donkcar, with the former usually having two wheels and the latter four. But it is the sheer variety of donkars that adds to their interest.
